Well recognized globally for the disco anthem "I Will Survive," Gaynor’s character on screen is meant to inspire the next generation.
The Grammy Award-winner made her acting debut playing a doctor in the holiday film.
"I love Christmas. It has always been my favorite holiday. And to have a part in a film that comes out at Christmas, and so apropos for Christmas ... it was just wonderful for me. It was something I jumped at the chance to do," Gaynor said in a recent video interview with The Christian Post.
The 79-year-old performer said messages of hope are best received during Christmas because people's "hearts are most open."
"At Christmas time, people's hearts are most open to sharing and caring, and I just love that this film is all about sharing and caring with your fellow man," she continued.
Gaynor is a very outspoken Christian, although her success is predominantly in mainstream entertainment. Gaynor fully surrendered her life to Jesus in her 30s at the height of her success. She has remained a witness for Christ to this day and released a gospel album titled Testimony in 2019.
